Re:
SMK wrote and I would tend to agree:
>>>I would suggest photocopying a circulation copy, spiral or plastic comb
bound; that would be available to the patrons, and putting the
original volume away from use as a rare book in it's current state.>>>>
In addition, you might be interested in a technique that I developed for
supporting a spiral bound book in a hard cover. An article was written for
the winter 1997 issue of ARCHIVAL PRODUCTS NEWS (Archival Products is a
division of Library Binding Service, 800-526-5640). The title is SPIRAL
BINDINGS IN A HARD COVER: AN ALTERNATIVE TO REBINDING. The article was also
reprinted in THE ABBEY NEWSLETTER 1998.
